The most valuable resource for any presidential campaign is a candidate’s time. That has never been more true than in the contest between President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump, whose rematch is testing their ability to make the traditional appearances on the trail that voters have come to expect.
Mr. Trump’s campaign has been hampered by his required presence at his New York hush-money trial — though he made use of the media attention to the trial by playing to the cameras with highly political statements each day. Mr. Biden has been forced to juggle campaign visits with trying to manage two wars. And both men face competing interests as they look to remain in the public eye, visit the battleground states, map out competing agendas and raise money for what is expected to be one of the most expensive races ever.
Our reporters are cataloging the candidates’ public events, speeches, court appearances, fund-raisers,and interviews. What emerges is a window into the decision-making and strategy of the two campaigns.
Mr. Trump’s schedule largely reflects his court dates, while Mr. Biden’s is a mix of public appearances and fund-raisers.
For obvious reasons, Mr. Biden’s appearances and events are largely in Washington, while Trump’s are mostly in New York. Mr. Biden has also focused on attending fund-raisers in West Coast states like California and Washington.
